Netflix is already incompatible with Chinese TV-Boxes or Root devices, how to solve it

Since a few days ago we had comments from our users that suddenly Netflix was not in the Google Play store and Android TV Box models that had it installed marked it as being incompatible with the device. As it seems this is not exclusive to TV-Boxes since even on premium branded phones with the bootloader unlocked without being root also suffer from this incompatibility.

CAUSES FOR THE NOT COMPATIBLE MESSAGE ON NETFLIX

During the tests we have been able to perform on the Android TV Boxes that we have available Netflix on Google Play is no longer compatible with any TV-Box since it is not a certified device that complies with the regulations imposed by Google for this software, it does not matter whether we are root or not. As we can see if we do a normal Netflix search on Google Play on any TV-Box the application does not appear in the results and only show us apps that have an indirect relationship.

The same applies to mobile phones and tablets that have the bootloader unlocked, something which of course has not liked anything to the international scene. Luckily this limitation is not critical because Netflix itself tells us which is the appropriate solution to continue to see content, something that will never completely limit.
